As I have been reading through some forums, there is currently no way to edit or delete youre post, if you post it on a games Forum section, where posts are stored on http://www.gamefaqs.com board?

If so, please any free moderator, can you delete by my request 2 of my last posts at this forum:

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/twoworldstemptation/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-57187143&pid=944162&tag=topics%3Btitle

Starting with "Well, apearantly the shield doesn't count in the set, her.." and "P.S. Is there a way to edit a post? Because those pics..."

Thank You in advance and would be very nice, if you would add an Edit post feature in the future.

Officially, I don't think we have the tools (or authorization) to change the state of posts or threads on the GameFAQs boards, so I don't think a mod at my level for example can do what you're asking. Maybe admins can, but they might actually have to do it over at GameFAQs. I always recommend using the GameFAQs boards exclusively by logging in directly to GameFAQs. Things like this are part of the reason. While no one can edit a message on a GameFAQs board, your options for deleting your own messages in an active thread are generally better when you log in directly to GameFAQs and do all your posting that way. It would also be much clearer that things like embedded images are *not* supported, no matter what it looks like on the GameSpot version of those boards. If you look at the GameFAQs version of your thread, you'll see that the situation is a little worse than just having the wrong images - it doesn't have *any* images, and the message is cut off from the point where the first image appeared. If you had previewed that message on GameFAQs you could have avoided that part of the issue. The current state of those two messages might be less than ideal, but you probably don't have too much to worry about.

I'll keep that in mind when I will post next time on Gamespot Game Forum sections, and I did check my posts on GameFAQs by logging in with the Gamespot login, and it does cut off and looks raw, and before up until now, I didn't know, that those posts are saved at GameFAQs, where I saw the link that it is powered by it only today :)
